Can someone please tell me where these go on the headlight assembly and how they fasten. Also how does the chrome rim fasten? I have been working on these for a long time and can't figure it out.
Thanks

This should help... You aren't the only one that couldn't figure this out! I'll look to see if I have any pictures of those pieces riveted on.
 
Thanks Art, I see what Moseso is talking about on piece #1 but where does #2 fit? Does the rim slide behind it and then clamps into #1? These things are driving me crazy.

I believe it is an either/or situation. Piece #2 is used only when you have the earlier (and rare) clamp-on (split) trim rings and goes in the same position that piece #1 goes when you have the later clip-on rings.

IOW, for your 59, piece #2 is not used.
 
Thanks everyone I'll let you know how they turn out.

NOTE: for TR6

This may help - from what I see in the pics above, the "yellow" piece goes in front of the rim of the bowl and the "white" piece goes behind the rim and the pop rivet goes through both pieces.
